Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

John Tyler is a community college, so it costs less than most.
Cathy from Crewe, VA
The per-semester cost is significantly less than one surrounding four year and higher school. Many courses taken at John Tyler equal courses at this surrounding school and can be transferred, saving the student money.
Amanda
very cheap
Ashley from Richmond, VA
Even though most colleges have raised their tuition rates, John Tyler has stayed competitive with local community colleges by being under the tuition rate of other schools. You get more bang for your buck because of a quality education from professors that often also teach at a local 4 year college, VCU, and because of the lower tuition rates and scholarship opportunities.
